Jake suggested using "x false" instead of "edit" for some corner cases. I do prefer using "x false" for all kinds of things such as stopping before a commit (edit only let's you stop after a commit), and the knowledge that "x false" does the least amount of actions behind my back. We should have that command as well, maybe?I agree. I use "x false" very often, and I think stop is probably a better solution since it avoids spawning an extra shell that will just fail. Not sure if stop implies too much about "stop the whole thing" as opposed to "stop here and let me do something manual", but I think it's clear enough.'hold' or 'pause' maybe options (leads to http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/put+on+hold offering procastinate etc.) 'adjourn'.
I like break, as suggested by Dscho. That also works well for abbreviation if we drop the "bud" command. Thanks, Jake
